Abstract Background: The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed great threat to the global population’s health and nearly every medical school throughout the world suspended classes as a precaution against the virus. The aim of this research is to explore the most suitable teaching and learning pattern in medical school during COVID-19 Outbreak. Methods: This was a case-control study which conducted in a medical school. We applied a new blended teaching model based on 5G network that combined team-based learning (TBL) and online interaction to the students before the outbreak and when universities responded to the COVID-19 outbreak by closing campuses, they shifted to different forms of distance learning. Fifty fourth-year medical students receiving the “5+3” pattern courses regarding internal medicine were enrolled in the study. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire that contains 20 items was used to compare the effect of the two kinds of teaching patterns. It evaluated the indicators of core competencies of students including professionalism, attitude towards learning, knowledge and learning skills, teamwork skills, motivation in learning, adaptability and acceptance of the courses and network environment.Results: According to the descriptive statistical analysis of the first part of the questionnaire (question 1-16), the average score of adaptability and acceptance of the courses is 2.60 less than 3, indicating that students are more adapted to other forms of distance learning during COVID-19 outbreak; the average score of the rest of the questions is greater than 3, indicating that blended teaching model based on 5G network is superior to other forms of distance learning. The number of male students who are inclined to the blended teaching model based on 5G network is 0.13 times as much as that of female students (95%CI:0.028~0.602, p=0.009).Conclusion: The results that medical education based on 5G network that combined team-based learning (TBL) and online interaction is a more suitable option to teach medical students.

AbstractImportanceThe spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed great threat to people’s health and several medical schools in the world suspended classes as a precaution against the virus. China has also adopted precautionary measures to keep medical schools running without suspending classes. Thinking ahead after COVID-19 Outbreak is important.ObjectiveTo explore the most suitable teaching and learning pattern in medical school during COVID-19 Outbreak.DesignThis study is a case-control study. We had tried to apply a new blended teaching model based on 5G network that combined team-based learning (TBL) and online interaction to the students before the outbreak and then universities responded to the COVID-19 outbreak by closing campuses and shifting to other forms of distance learning. In other word, the courses started using blended teaching model before COVID-19 outbreak and might last using other forms of distance learning throughout the pandemic. Five Point Likert Scale Questionnaires which contains 20 items were used, and the effect of the two kinds of teaching patterns was compared by evaluating the indicators of core competencies of students including professionalism, attitude towards learning, knowledge and learning skills, teamwork skills, motivation in learning, adaptability and acceptance of the courses and network environment.SettingOur study based on a single center.ParticipantsFifty fourth-year medical students receiving the “5+3” pattern courses regarding internal medicine were enrolled in the study.Exposure(s) (for observational studies)The teaching and learning patter started using blended teaching model before COVID-19 outbreak and might last using other forms of distance learning throughout the pandemic.Main Outcome(s)According to the descriptive statistical analysis of the first part of the questionnaire (question 1-16), the average score of adaptability and acceptance of the courses is 2.60 lower than 3, indicating that students are more adapted to other forms of distance learning during COVID-19 outbreak; the average score of the rest of the questions is higher than 3, indicating that blended teaching model based on 5G network is superior to other forms of distance learning. The number of male students who are inclined to the blended teaching model based on 5G network is 0.13 times as much as that of female students (95%CI:0.028∼0.602, p=0.009).ResultsOnline forms of distance learning were accepted by the students. Female students had higher expectations on the course and were more likely to adapt well to the change during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, all students preferred the blended teaching model based on 5G network that combined team-based learning (TBL) and online interaction before the pandemic.ConclusionIt indicates that medical education based on 5G network that combined team-based learning (TBL) and online interaction is a more suitable option to teach medical students online. China’s experience in online higher medical education may serve as a reference to other countries during the pandemic.Key pointQuestionsWhat are the reflections on approaches to teaching and learning during COVID-19 Outbreak?FindingsFifty fourth-year medical students receiving the “5+3” pattern courses regarding internal medicine were enrolled. Five Point Likert Scale Questionnaires which contains 20 items were used. This study indicates that medical education based on 5G network that combined team-based learning (TBL) and online interaction is a more suitable option to teach medical students online during COVID-19 outbreak.MeaningChina’s experience in online higher medical education may serve as a reference to other countries during the pandemic.

Abstract Background The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed great threat to the global population’s health and nearly every medical school throughout the world suspended classes as a precaution against the virus. The aim of this research is to explore a more advanced online teaching and learning pattern for medical school in the future especially during a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Methods This is a descriptive study conducted in a medical school. We applied a new blended teaching model, that is, online TBL via 5G network (hereinafter referred as blended teaching model) before the outbreak and when universities responded to the COVID-19 outbreak by closing campuses, they shifted to home-based online learning which is not based on TBL via other prevalent forms of wireless internet connection(hereinafter referred as traditional online teaching model). Fifty fourth-year medical students receiving the “5 + 3” pattern courses regarding internal medicine were enrolled in the study. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire that contains 20 items was used to compare the effect of the two kinds of teaching patterns. It evaluated the indicators of core competencies of students including professionalism, attitude towards learning, knowledge and learning skills, teamwork skills, motivation in learning, adaptability and acceptance of the courses and network environment. Results According to the descriptive statistical analysis of the first part of the questionnaire (question 1–16), the average score of adaptability and acceptance of the courses is 2.60 less than 3, indicating that students are more adapted to traditional online teaching model; the average score of the rest of the questions is greater than 3, indicating that blended teaching model is superior to traditional online teaching model. The number of male students who are inclined to blended teaching model is 0.13 times as much as that of female students (95%CI:0.028 ~ 0.602, p = 0.009). Conclusion Blended teaching model makes up for some deficiencies of the traditional online teaching methods. For instance, it can monitor students’ learning efficiency and test their real-time learning effectiveness; 5G network meets the requirement of multiple user access in the online TBL. It is a more advanced online teaching and learning pattern for medical school and may be a more suitable method during PHEIC in the future. However, as the students can hardly quickly adapt to this new model, teachers should change their ideas to form a "student-centered" teaching concept, acquire more knowledge of online teaching, and get fully prepared for online TBL before class to ensure a better study experience.
